<\/a>I think I declared this to be our official Halloween picture.<\/p><\/div>\n
Halloween did happen<\/a>, as scheduled, and the costumes got finished!!!<\/p>\n Really wasn’t interested in changing serger thread.<\/p><\/div>\n Also, I have decided that one step up from quick-and-dirty\u00a0should not be\u00a0called quick-and-clean, because it doesn’t sound as cool.\u00a0 In any case, this is the method utilized on our Oktoberfest\u00a0 costumes.\u00a0 I think that part of my difficulty is starting this project was trying to get my brain around the idea that these were costumes, and didn’t have to be “clothing” level design\/construction.\u00a0 Still, I think they came out quite nicely, and I have gained a whole new appreciation for the “bachelor button.”<\/p>\n The only\u00a0 piece I ended up making for Michael was the actual lederhosen;\u00a0 we picked up the hat<\/a> at a Halloween store for about $5 and the shirt, socks, and boots came from our closets.\u00a0 I made the dress\u00a0 for myself, along with an apron (read: I put half of a scarf on a ribbon) and arm floofs (read: serged rectangles with elastic;) I already had the lacy cami, socks, shoes and hair.<\/p>\n Living and Living Dead!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a>
